Self- Awareness:
"One’s ability to assess their strengths and limitations, with a well-grounded sense of optimism, and a “growth mindset,”
(Trujillo, 2019, pg. 31).

Student Activity to Promote Self-Awareness:

Create an Emotional Rating Scale. Students can self reflect and indicate how they are feeling with emotions ranging from sad, angry, stressed, calm, to happy.

Create Competitions in the classroom. For example, a reading competition can help students recognize if they have strengths in reading, if they didn't win they can be motivated to improve and obtain a "growth mindset".

Tip for Teacher: Self-Management
- Always communicate with respect & kindness
- Take a deep breath before responding if stressed/frustrated
- Redirect NEGATIVE conversations

Implicit Biases:

Trujillo (2019) states that:
"Most educators & school system leaders have good intentions and are committed to equity.

But good intentions do NOT obviate the need to understand historical context and the role of RACE, RACISM, WHITE PRIVILEGE, and IMPLICIT BIAS in holding students back" (pg. 71).

"Ultimately, having the ability to view situations from another's perspective, respecting oneself and others, approaching people with cultural humility, practicing empathy, and serving others are all ways in which to appreciate diversity and gain social awareness" (Trujillo, 2019, pg. 81).

"Learn and TELL"

  • From my understanding, this quote is indicating that as teachers, we need to be encouraging our students to understand one another and celebrate diversity. We can incorporate this by implementing a "Learn and Tell" instead of a "Show and Tell". We can help students learn about one another and where they come from by having a few students each week talk about their culture and their family values. Before doing this activity, respect needs to be defined and understood as a class. Encourage your students to seek understanding by asking each other questions after each student finishes sharing!

"But empathy is associated with an authentic quest for understanding what it might be like for a person as he or she experiences challenges or hardship" (Trujillo, 2019, pg. 73).

This quote is indicating that as educators, we need to encourage our students to understand one anothers point of view. This empathy will create social awareness and create an environment of support and trust. We can help students understand emotions by labeling it. For example, if a child is crying say, "You seem upset. How can I help". We can also teach by implementing "Cause and Effect" conversations. An example to present to the class could be, "Tod was upset because Max took his toy without asking. What might help Tod feel better?".
